“…Studies have estimated varying degrees of parental mental illness of Child and Youth Mental Health clients with numbers ranging between 30% and 42%. [9][10][11] However, in regional Canada, Baker and Lees [12] found 70% of children attending a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) had a parent with a possible mental health concern. The current study extends an earlier investigation of CAMHS families that determined almost 80% of these children were living with a parent with mental illness.…”

Objective: Investigations into the influence of mental illness in families concentrates on how a parent’s mental illness has an effect on their child, but we now know over two thirds of children with a mental health issue also have a parent with a mental illness. This study examines experiences of these children.Methods: Thirty-eight children were interviewed, including two sibling groups. Interview transcripts were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis with a number of themes identified.Results: It was clear from children’s accounts that family life presents some unique challenges because of co-existing mental illness. These included social challenges; school issues; and family interactions. Children also postulated ideas on the support that they considered helpful for comparable children and families. The latter included coping strategies, experiences of professionals and support that they would have liked.Conclusions: The voices of these children indicate that interventions should not be considered in isolation and that it is important to focus on bidirectional influences of mental illness. Understanding the perceptions and interpreted realities of children in these families will facilitate more successful outcomes for the whole family. Providing a family-focused, bidirectional approach, is an important initial phase in helping children manage where mental illness is a ubiquitous feature for multiple family members.

Objectives: Our objective is to measure the prevalence of bipolar mood disorder (BMD) in Iranian children and adolescents and its comorbidity with psychiatric disorders. Also, the main purpose of this study is to characterize the main risk factors for BMD in children and adolescents. Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study. In a community-based study, we sampled 1000 children and adolescents from the age of 6 to 18 years in each province via the multistage cluster sampling method. The total valid sample size reached 29 812 cases. The instructed clinical psychologists completed the Persian version of the kiddie schedule for affective disorders and schizophrenia present and lifetime version (K-SADS-PL). Furthermore, the demographic data were obtained. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, multinomial, and multiple logistic regressions were utilized to evaluate the relationships. Results: The total prevalence rates for BMD were 0.29%; it was 0.26% in males and 0.29% in females. BMD rates were larger in children and adolescents whose mothers had an occupation. Also, after controlling the effective variables (sex and age), location (rural or urban), the father’s education, and the psychiatric hospitalization of the mother or the father, none predicted BMD significantly. Moreover, patients with comorbidities showed a superior prevalence compared to those without comorbidities, ranging from 1.96% for posttraumatic stress disorder to 39.22% for the oppositional defiant disorder. Conclusion: BMD was more prevalent among women. The gender or the father’s education level was not the risk factor for BMD symptoms. Several factors, such as maternal education and maternal job were also important for the prevalence of BMD symptoms.

“…The influence of family dynamics on the development of bipolar disorder in teenagers necessitates the inclusion of parents in practical treatment approaches. The efficacy of family-focused therapy lies in its incorporation of children and parents in the treatment process facilitated by an individual counselor [5]. This therapeutic approach proves effective through its recognition of the disorder, utilization of pharmacological interventions, facilitation of enhanced family dynamics, and implementation of preventive strategies to minimize the likelihood of future recurrences in the patient [5].…”

Bipolar disorder is a group of neurological illnesses distinguished by variable emotional states, and cognitive performance poses a notable problem within adult and pediatric populations. This study examines the dynamic comprehension of bipolar disorder in the younger population, explicitly emphasizing the influence of parenting choices on its emergence. The significance of acknowledging the connection between parenting styles and bipolar disorders in teenagers is underscored, as it serves the dual purpose of averting its emergence and offering timely intervention and assistance to individuals who have already been diagnosed. In this discourse, this essay aims to examine the existing gaps in research about the effects of traumatic experiences within the familial setting on individuals with bipolar disorder, hence emphasizing the necessity for further investigations in this particular domain. This study highlights the significance of expanding the conceptual framework of "parenting styles" to encompass parental behaviors, their psychological well-being, and the subsequent implications for the development of bipolar illness in teenagers. The main aim of this study is to further people’s comprehension of the complex relationship between parenting styles and teenage bipolar disorder.
